UltraFit tray's superior adaptation ensures the maximum
amount of gel stays in contact with the teeth during whitening.

Ultradent's NEWEST whitenening product. Opalescence Go comes in the
innovative, ready-made UltraFitTM tray that adapts instantly and
comfortably to the teeth for a better fit and improved whitening experience.

Opalescence Go's unique UltraFit tray material easily conforms to any
patient's smile and offers molar-to-molar coverage, ensuring that the gel
comes into contact with more posterior teeth than ever before.

The UltraFit tray's superior adaptability also ensures that the maximum amount of gel
stays in contact with the teeth during whitening. Best of all, the convenient, prefilled
trays can be worn right out of the package. Additionally, Opalescence Go contains
PF (potassium nitrate and fluoride). Potassium nitrate has been shown to help reduce
sensitivity. Fluoride has been shown to help reduce caries and strengthen enamel.
Together they help to improve the overall health of the teeth.

In certain cases, fluoride is a good idea, no matter patient's age. Fluoride is similar to calcium, except that it has an extra electron, and therefore is more willing to bond to tooth structure in the place calcium. Like calcium, fluoride is a substance that helps make the tooth strong.

Adults could benefit from fluoride treatments if they have or had:

1 or more cavities in the last 3 years

acquired or developmental enamel defects

many restorations (fillings)

undergoing Chemo or radiation therapy

an eating disorder

drug or alcohol abuse

active orthodontic treatment

exposed root surfaces (may cause hypersensitivity of teeth)

open margins around crowns

areas of tooth erosion

damaged areas of teeth with exposed dentin

any physical or mental disability with the inability of performing proper oral health care.

Fluoride treatment can make your teeth stronger, more resistant to decay, and less sensitive to hot and cold.

With Halloween comes ghosts, goblins and goodies—and the sugar in those treats can play some unwanted tricks on your teeth if you’re not careful.

Here’s why: The bacteria in your mouth are probably more excited to eat Halloween candy than you are. When the bacteria eat the sugar and leftover food in your mouth, a weak acid is produced. That acid is what can contribute to cavities.

But don’t hang up your costume just yet. Halloween is about candy, dressing up and having fun. It’s OK to eat that candy on Halloween as a splurge as long as you’re brushing twice a day and flossing once a day all year long.

To help you sort through the trick-or-treat bag loot, we have a rundown of some common candies and their impact on your teeth:

Chocolate

Chocolate is probably your best bet, which is good because it’s also one of the most popular kinds of candy handed out on Halloween. Chocolate is one of the better candies because it washes off your teeth easier than other types of candy. Dark chocolate also has less sugar than milk chocolate.

Sticky and Gummy Candies

Be picky if it’s sticky. These are some of the worst candies for your teeth. This candy is harder to remove and may stay longer on your teeth, which gives that cavity-causing bacteria more time to work.

Hard Candy

Hard candies are also ones to watch on Halloween. They can actually break your teeth if you’re not careful. You also tend to keep these kinds of candies in your mouth for longer periods of time so the sugar is getting in your saliva and washing over your teeth.

Sour Candy

You might want to pass on things that make you pucker – especially if they are sticky and coated in sugar. Sour candy can be very acidic. And that acidity can weaken and damage the hard outer shell of your teeth, making your teeth more vulnerable to cavities.

Popcorn Balls

Have some floss handy if you’re enjoying one of these fall favorites. Kernels can get stuck in-between your teeth. They are also sticky, sugary and can be hard.

Congratulations to Dr. Osmanski for receiving an award at the recent Illinois State Dental Society Annual Session.

The DENT-IL-PAC award was given to him for his non-partisan lobbying efforts that have had a significant impact on the Illinois Legislature, the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation and the State Board of Dentistry. These lobbying efforts ensure that the interests of the practicing dentists and future dentists are addressed and influence the political process for the good of dentistry and the well being of patients.

His efforts help create lawmakers in the Illinois General Assembly and U.S. Congress who understand dentistry and oral health care and create a statewide contact dentist system so that every politician in the state has a personal friend in dentistry, furthering the relationship between legislators and dentists.

CariVu – Cavity Detection Device

We are now using a brilliant new approach to discovering caries and cracks.

DEXIS CariVu™ is a compact, portable caries detection device that uses patented transillumination technology to support the identification of cavities and cracks.

By hugging the tooth and bathing it in safe, near-infrared light, CariVu’s transillumination technology makes the enamel appear transparent while porous lesions trap and absorb the light. This unique caries detector allows the clinician to see through the tooth exposing its structure and the actual structure of any carious lesions with very high accuracy.

Similar in appearance, DEXIS CariVu images read like familiar X-ray images — lesions will appear as dark areas. Think of the CariVu as the ultimate companion tool for cavity detection. If the doctor identifies a suspicious area on an x-ray — especially between the teeth — your “second opinion” can be a transilluminated image that reveals the extent of the condition and helps confidently determine whether it needs monitoring over time or requires immediate treatment.

When used together, a radiograph and a transilluminated image provide a comprehensive picture of the health of a patient’s tooth.
